Rainbow Cake Adventure

Chatterbox, a few weeks ago, saw this cake on the internet and decided she wanted it for her birthday. I was thrilled, because compared to the huge castle cake we made last year (that took us 2 days...no joke!), this was going to be EEEEEEE-ZZZZZZZZZ! And for the most part, I was right. I will say it provided a whole ton of fun! Here's what we did...

We made 2 cake mixes, and divided the batter into 6 bowls, then added food coloring to make the 6 colors of the rainbow. I used Wilton food coloring so the colors would be vibrant.


Then we took cookie-dough scoopers and "plopped" random colors into two heart-shaped cake pans.


They will thrilled with their creations, as you can tell...


After baking, we cut the tops off to make them flat, and they looked like this.


Then we stacked and frosted them.


Happy Birthday to you...happy birthday to you...happy birthday.......


What a cool surprise when you cut into this cake and find this!


And if you're wondering how it tastes, it tastes just like white cake. Although I will say it was a little more "crumbly" than normal. Otherwise, it was a big hit!
